Meertrek Mates

Meertrek is a game developed by a group of young people to create awareness of moral choices and crime prevention among other young people. It is an idea developed from meerkats who always have one of their group on lookout, watching out for the safety of others. The objective of the game is to undertake a journey and arrive safely at the destination. Through the course of the journey potential threats are identified. A large A1 poster has been produced, along with a CD-ROM and education pack.

The game is co-ordinated by the North Leicestershire Neighbourhood Watch. Copies of the game CD-ROM, the poster and teacher’s pack can be obtained from:
